Come summer vacation and find lots of morning shows of Children’s plays at places like Mumbai, Thane and Pune. And, this has been a good way to divert the attention of little children from the video games and television cartoon shows towards which they are more addicted today. So, let us find out whether there is enough for such children this vacation from Marathi Theatre? Taking a glimpse at the ongoing shows, we found that there were few interesting children’s plays going on at different places.

To top it all was Laxmi Narayan Productions ‘Jungle Book The Treasure’ which was staged at Balwant Phadke Auditorium, Panvel. This play has the attraction of presenting a 20 ft Dinassoure and 7 ft Gorilla to entertain the kids. It is the first Marathi children’s play to win National award. This play is written and directed by Preeti Dalvi Chorghe. Then, there are two shows of ‘Chandoba Chandoba Bhaglas Ka’ directed by Ketan Kshirsagar on Sunday and Monday @4.30 pm at Damodar Hall, Parel and Dinanath , Vile Parle respectively . But, is this enough to entertain the little children? We need many more Children’s plays during vacation time.
